RAMS 0, COUGARS 0

The CSU women’s soccer team couldn’t find the back of the net Sunday, but behind the play of goalie Maggie Sherman, the Rams earned a 0-0 draw against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Sherman, a junior goalie converted from a forward, made nine saves in the game played in Fargo, N.D. as part of the Doublewood Inn Classic. Sherman started in place of usual starter Elena Eidson.

CSU (1-4-2) had three shots on goal in the contest. SIUE is now 6-1-2 after neither team could score in 90 minutes of regulation or in two 10-minute overtime periods.

Seven games into its first season, CSU is still finding offense hard to come by, with the Rams having scored only four goals, three of them coming in a season-opening win over Lubbock Christian. On the flip side, CSU is getting stronger defensively. The Rams have given up just three goals in the last four games.

CSU returns home to open Mountain West play at 4 p.m. Friday against Air Force at the Fort Collins Soccer Club Complex, 3955 NW Frontage Road, Fort Collins.
